anu Z. r Altman. At an early hour Monday
morning the officers at Dennison had arrested
Samuel Fitz, j. R. Dunlap and Altman, and
the three were locked up in the freight sta
ton. John and David COLES were next ar
rested and locked up in the Dennison station
house. Their house was searched and a
large assortment of stolen goods consisting
of rolls OF silks, velvets, boxes OF books, al
bums shoes. cutlery and miscellaneous arti-
cles were found. An attorney iuterfered in
behalf of Fitz and the COLES brothers, and
they could not be taken out of the state
without requisition from the governor.
They are locked up at Dennison. Dunlap
was locked up by the officers as ringleader,
and his arrest is of special importance.
Dunlap, while on his way to this city,
made confession to the officers, in which he
states that the stealing has been going on for
a months; t,iat he could give the names of all
the men implicated on the Pittsburg division
of the Panhandle but was afraid to do so.
His language to the officers was: 81 would
give you the names, officers, but, great Godi
they would kill me- Dunlap further stated
that great quantity of the goods stolen had
been pawned in Pittsburg loan offices on
Wylie avenue and Penn avenue. He said
that there was no organization among the
robbers and no regular plan of work; each
crew working by itself, it being understood
that every man was to take all he could and
dispose of it to the best advantage. There
was number of principals" who reaped
large benefits by giving pointers to less pro
minent thieves as to cars containing the
more desirable goods. Dunlap said that the
''fences' were located in New Philadelphia,
Steubenvile, Columbus, Cincinnati and
Pittsburg. He expressed himself as willing
to tell all he knew if he could only be sure
that no harm would come to him from his
associates When searched numerous valu-
able articles were found on his person.

of workugmen assembled at the various
designated rendes vous and forming in large
professions began vending their way toward
Hyde park Vast crowds were soon march
ing from every district OF London headed by
bands of music The leaders came first in

processionists.

park fourteen stands for speakers hai been
erected along the whole frontage facing the
fashionable park lane The processionists
wore green rosettes, cut SO as to initiate the

The authorities had taken every precaution
to prevent disturbance of any kind
Estimates vary as to the number of per

certain that not fewer than 80, 900 We're as

these were mere oniookers can not be de

safe statement that London has seldom wit
messed so gigantic and spontaneous an out
pouring of people in support of political

The Irish speakers were the recipients OF
ovations. Sullivan, mayor of Dublin, and
Michael Davitt both declared that Ireland
has no hatred to the English people and
when oppression ceased a real union would
follow. Burns, the Socialist, also spoke, and
said the English people were ready to help
the Irish when they decide to revolt against
